Stir Crazy


We have been stuck at home ever since Kai got home from the hospital. Being stuck in the house daily with a 22 month old and a 3 and a half year old can be a little ummm...trying at times. Sometimes they love eachother, sometimes not so much. Kalan isn't even 2 yet and he has learned to tattle. Amaya has taught him how to perfect this art. I swear she is going to become a news reporter when she grows up. Ever since she could talk, she insists that I know what everyone is doing at all times. "Mom! Kai is looking at me! Mom! Kai is touching my carseat! Mom! Kalan is puting dirt in his ears!" Sometimes it is helpful, but do I really need a second to second update on everything all the time?!
This leads to my picture...it's Clay's Restaurant. One of the kids favorites!! For those of you non-Houstonians, it is a restaurant/petting zoo. Ha! A little gross when you think of it like that, but the kids love it. You can eat on the patio on a picnic table and the kids can run around the HUGE yard complete with sandboxes and stables to see/feed horses, goats, a donkey, roosters, chickens and a baby cow. We try to make sure all the horse slobber and sand is washed away before the kids dig in! This could be a hard place for a first time mother to trek because we know we were all a little germ-a-phobic with the firstborns. By the time you have 3, you live by the motto "a little dirt won't hurt!" We actually went there to help celebrate one of our dear friend's daughter's birthday! So, mommy got some friend time and the kids got some friend time, yay! The weather could not have been more perfect! It was so nice to have a little vacation from the house and refreshed my spirit a bit, which a good mommy needs to do often!
